G. Company and Toa Kogyo Company Present

Toei

Shibuya... Shibuya...

Why did you choose this line of work?

Hmm... Why? It just worked out this way... you know...

For example, did a friend introduce you to it?

No, I saw an ad, so I went to the club for the interview.

And they made you a dominatrix right away?

Yeah. I thought it might be kind of fun.

"Kind of fun?"

Yeah, of course... it’s fun.

How's that? How's that?

Come on, say it louder!

There you go. There!

Say it louder.

Ouch!

Come on, say it!

Mistress!

Did that hurt?

Yes.

Say it like you mean it!

"Ai no Shinsekai " New Love in Tokyo

What do you want next? Hmmm? Speak...

Pee...

What? I can't hear you.

I want to receive...

my Mistress's holy water.

How dare you think you deserve such a gift, when you've done nothing to serve me!

You shall clean your Mistress's royal feet.

Yes.

Don't touch the feet.

Forgive me.

Stick out your tongue and lick them clean.

Yes.

Hey... more tongue!

It's delicious! Delicious!

That's enough on that foot. Do the other.

Hold it reverently.

Yes.

You always get too overeager.

Is it tasty?

Oh yes!

Who said you could touch? Clean that up, and fast.

Good. Is it clean? You see? Even you can do something right if you try.

Very well. Lie down over there.

Hurry up!

Lie still.

You better not lose a drop.

Yes.

If you spill any, I won't let you come today.

Here goes... here goes...

It's coming soon.

Don't you dare speak to me like that, slave!

Get on all fours! Bark like a dog!

That's it. Real good. Yes.

There.

Does that hurt? Suffer! Suffer more!

Good... Right...

What are you, a moron? Is “it hurts, it hurts" all that you can say?

Perfect.

There... that's a good boy. What a cute boy!

Okay, good, really good.

That's it. That's the ticket.

What's this... you're not bleeding?

Fantastic, you're a star.

Good. Yes. Really good.

Stop sobbing like a girl.

Smile! I ordered you to smile, dammit!

That's great. That's a great expression.

Really good.

You just took in 500cc, how about a couple more bottles?

Very nice.

I see. So you want a thicker needle.

Now let's be a doggie.

Look at yourself in the mirror; see how you look... aren't you ashamed?

I can see everything.

Great!

Oh yes, really nice. The lights are complementing you.

Cry, I said. Don't you understand what I'm saying?

Why? Why can't you cry in front of me?

How could I cry in front of a woman?

I've seen you crying, in front of the mirror in the middle of the night.

So you were watching.

If you have a weakness, just show it to me.

What are you talking about?

You're a man who wears weakness well.

How can you spout such nonsense with a straight face?

We've been living together for five years now.

It makes me mad that you won't even let me see you cry.

Am I not worthy of seeing your crying face?

Can you...

What?

Can you cry for me?

I... I can cry.

Then can you cry for yourself?

What?

Let your tears flow for the sorry woman...

who's spent five years of her life on a worthless man like me.

Well...

If you can, then I will, too.

”Hyokkori hyotan—jima: ” 1964 — 1969 children’s puppet show; revived 1991 — 1996. Do you know the theme song to ”Hyokkori hyotan—jima?”

”I don't want to cry, let's laugh, let's go!“

Huh? Where's that?

Miura! What are you doing?

Want someone else to take your part?

But she can't just throw in ”Hyokkori hyotan—jima" all of a sudden and expect me to...

It's just a minor ad lib, just go with it.

Rei, I like what you're doing. But try looking away from him faster.

Yes.

Okay, let's take it from where we left off.

Go.

Well... Well...

If you can, then I will, too.

I can't.

I can't cry.

What happened to "Hyokkori hyotan—jima?”

Jackass! Haven't you ever heard of a planned improvisation?

Huh? What is this, an acting class?

Come inside today.

Over here.

You're late. So how many times did you do it?

Once. Then I went and took a bath.

You did, huh?

It was okay to come inside today.

What?

It was a "red alert" day, so it was safe.

Eyeeeewww! Eyeeeeew!

Whoooaaah!

It's my turn next... but I don't know if I want to do it during a red alert.

You want to switch places with me then?

I'm always available if you need a pinch—hitter.

Another Apple Sour please. Is that okay?

Yeah. Rei made her bank deposit today.

Rei—chan's great!

Gratitude!

ls Rei working tonight?

Probably.

Sakura, why don't you work, too?

What's this?

It's your birthday the day after tomorrow.

Oh yeah. I forgot.

You didn't forget.

Okay to open it?

Yeah.

I have four birthdays a year, so I’m always forgetting them.

WOW!

Thanks.

You've got time tonight, right?

Yeah.

I've reserved a room.

Oh. But I've got my monthly visitor today.

You're lying. You said you had your period just the other day.

Really? But it's true. Want to see my tampon?

Listen. If you want this, then say woof.

Woof. Woof.

Yes, we'll have you fill out your membership application when you get here.

Yes. The membership fee is ¥10,000.

It's ¥35,000 for the 70—minute S—course, or ¥25,000 for the 70—minute I\/I—course.

We have other variations as well:

Double—Queen, Double—M—Mistress, Queen + M—Mistress, and so on.

What? Yes.

Oh man.

The fee for that is ¥55,000 for 80 minutes.

Yes. We look forward to your patronage.

I'm back.

Welcome back.

Here.

Good job.

I'm so mad.

What's up?

I just flushed ¥20,000 worth of gold down the toilet.

So you did. How many days did you hold it in?

Two.

Just eat a lot and stock up.

Yeah. I'm so pissed.

Rei, sorry for the fast turnaround but...

Can you go to Hotel Boheme, room 508, right away?

Yes. We're sure getting lots of calls today.

l\/liki, l\/Ir. Kato's waiting for you.

Oh, no. I hope it's not another enema.

I'm totally pooped out. What a drag.

You always say that I\/I's easier.

I guess so, but...

l\/Iiki, it's great that you can go both ways.

You're implying that I have no talent as a dominatrix.

Well, you do whine a bit much...

Maybe I'll just change to l\/l—only from now on.

Then next time, I'll torture you.

Okay, let's make your booty nice n' clean!

Does that feel good?

This way?

Yeah.

We keep running into each other. Keeping busy?

Yep.

That's good.

Are you a dominatrix?

Bingo! You're in #801, aren't you?

Bingo!

Well, I'm here. See you.

Right... Later...

Hey.

Huh?

Maybe next time we could go have a drink?

Sure, give me a call. Here, take this.

Here's mine.

— There. — Okay.

Yes?

I'm here from Dream Girls.

Will I do?

Yeah.

I have to call the club.

Yeah.

Hello, this is Ayumi. I'm starting now.

Okay, good luck.

Umm... hate to be rude but...

Oh, yeah.

¥25,ooo, right?

Yes.

No discount?

Can't...

Shall we take a shower together?

No, I just took one.

Then is it alright if I take a shower?

Yeah, this way.

It's open, please come in.

I have been waiting for you.

Good.

I'm going to get changed. Wait some more.

Yes.

May I lie down next to you?

Yeah.

How old are you? You're not underage, are you?

Huh?

Be honest. It's for your own good.

Actually, maybe I'm underage.

That's what I thought.

You have to respect yourself more.

What if your parents find out? You'll make them cry!

I'm sorry. I think I have to leave now.

No, no. You'll change your ways after today, right?

No.

You can do this just one last time, okay? I'm sure you've had a complicated life.

You're a good girl.

I'll give you a generous tip, too, okay?

Nothing above the neck.

So it's okay if it's below, huh?

Middle—aged johns like to get preachy. They’re all like that.

They’re by far the most lecherous.

What's that you're wearing?

I want you to dominate me...

as a woman!

Please...

You're quite the little pervert, aren't you?

Can you do me, too?

What? This is my first time, and besides...

that's not included in the course.

Is that so? The last girl did it for me.

But this is your first time, huh?

I'll tip you even more.

Come on shitty mutt, git! Come on, come on!

What's the matter with you, can't you move any faster?

Come on, come on. Hey, where are you going, you idiot.

It's this way. My love, this way.

Hey bitch, do you need to pee?

Idiot, a bitch doesn't pee like that.

Yes.

What do you mean, "yes?"

Look at yourself. What a shameful sight.

Just look at this. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Huh?

I'm sorry.

But you like it, don't you? Eh?

Yes.

Not "yes."

I'm sorry.

And what is this?

Just look at this. Look at this for yourself. Come on.

I'm ashamed.

It is shameful, isn't it?

Yes.

I guess you'll want to come now. I'll watch; you do it yourself.

Come on, you're a woman, aren't you? Let's hear you moan like one!

l\/loan like you mean it!

Come on, faster!

Come on.

I think that this is a special skill for middle—aged women.

I won’t do this to a man unless he pays.

Come to think of/t, this is what they’re really paying for.

/ wouldn’t do it even for Ken—Chan.

But maybe I will after we get married.

Ken—Chan... Ken—Chan...

Well, back to work...

You're going to study?

No, that.

It's a thing.

So it's a thing.

"Ronin."’ One who is studying to pass the tough college entrance exams. Ken—Chan has been a pre—med ”Ron/n" for three years. But he will become a doctor.

His father runs a large hospital in the countryside.

Ken—Chan’s hobbies are sex and these crossword puzzles.

It takes him about a month to finish one.

/ get the answers before he does most of the time.

But / don’t tell him because I don’t want to injure his pride.

Seems Ken—chan’s not so hot in the literary department.

I’m going to marry Ken—Chan.

"Shibuya Station”

Why don't we just go home?

Are you still saying that?

But I'm sleepy.

The morning has just begun.

That's right! Here l\/liki, drink up.

Okay, I will.

See you later.

Take care.

Bye—bye.

Track 1, train to Shinjuku, lkebukuro now arriving...

Please stand behind the yellow line.

Goodnight.

You're still here? Aren't you going to exam prep class?

I'm ditching.

Oh. I see.

Hey!

What?

Look at this. Look, look, look!

What?

Ta—da...!

¥10 million... wow!

It says that the deposit was made by my Dad. I was so surprised, so I called I\/Iom...

and she said that they made the deposit to help with our wedding!

I've been telling my parents about you, Ken—Chan.

I told them that were firmly engaged.

They don't waste any time, do they?

But since this is for our wedding anyway, maybe we should just blow the whole wad now.

Cool.

I made that deposit, in my father’s name, from another savings account.

Ken—chan’s parents will be glad that his bride is from a financially stable family.

Ken—Chan’s going to be a doctor, and I’m going to marry him.

What are you doing?

The time is 11:40 pm.

I guess you’re still hanging out at the theatre. Must be a lot of work. Good night.

That's right, it's a lot of work.

Making costumes, looking for props, taking out ads, selling tickets...

It’s me. It’s 12:14 pm, I’m going to lunch.

Are you gone already? Are you still sleeping? If you’re up, get the phone.

Hello... hello...?

I'm still sleeping.

Hello? Are you gone?

You didn’t forget our date, did you? If you stand me up, I’m going to cheat on you.

Nah, just kidding, just kidding.

Why don't you?

Where are you calling from?

Yes. In that case, you can see the Royal Building from there.

You turn right at the corner of the Royal Building.

Then Hotel Santos is about 20 meters away, on the left.

Once you've checked in to the room, will you please give us a call?

Yes. If you're not pleased with the girl, it's okay to change.

Yes. Thank you for your patronage.

You're quite impressive at that, and it's only your first day.

I'm good at remembering lines.

Morning.

Morning. This is Sakura—Chan, she's our new phone operator.

Nice meeting you.

Jerk!

What?

Keep your hands off my clients! You think I'm gonna let you get away with that?

Get lost! I can't help it if a client hits on me!

So that's how you want it, huh?

Bitch!

You're overreacting!

Shut up!

Shut up!

It's all your fault!

You're gonna get it!

Shut up!

You shut up!

Who do you think you are?

Shut up!

So you think you can take me, huh?

Please stop!

Hey, don't hurt yourselves...

Shut it!

THAT'S ENOUGH!

Um... we have a call.

Hi... you've reached Cat Call.

Oh yes. No problem.

Room 403 at the Etoire.

For Mr. Sato...

Yes. She'll be there in about five minutes.

Yes. Thank you very much.

Miss Sera, he's asked for you by name. He's at the Etoire, room 403.

He's calling himself l\/lr. Sato.

Yes.

Good luck.

You lucked out.

No, you did.

You'll be a loser for the rest of your life. I'm off.

See you later.

Get lost...

Yes, you've reached Club Dream Girls.

Oh, are you the same I\/Ir. Sato? Are you calling from the room?

Yes.

It's room 205? She'll be there in about five minutes.

Yes, thank you very much.

Miss Nagisa, were you the next in line?

Yeah. l\/Ir. Sato, room 205?

I'm off.

Good luck.

Good luck.

We sure get a lot of Mr. Sato's.

Sato, Suzuki, Takahashi, Tanaka... They all use the most common names.

Please.

I'll call when I'm done, and you can bring the car around.

Yes, understood.

Keep your chin up, you're spilling wax.

Yes.

That's some dirty graffiti you've got on you.

How dare you look at me like that?!

The candle's gone out...

Forgive me, Mistress! Forgive me!

I've got a nice present for you.

Here we go. It's really going to hurt...

You've got a hard nipple.

We're doing this one, too. Here goes...

There, it's in...

What's the matter? It doesn't hurt any more, does it?

It looks good on you.

There we go...

Well, how cute. Now that really enhances your cheap graffiti.

How's that...? Do you like it?

Yes. Thank you very much.

How's that? It's hot, isn't it?

How do you like it? Say something.

Please let me suffer more!

I see, so you want more torture.

There you go.

Come on, shake your hips more. Get a move on! Move!

Mistress!

This is for the extended service.

Your change is ¥5,000.

No. Please take it all, all of it.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Come back again.

Thank you very much.

There's something bothering me.

What?

You're not wearing the earrings I gave you.

Sorry, I forgot.

You forgot?

You know how I feel about you, don't you?

How you feel about me? Haven't we had this conversation?

Do you have to interrogate me every time?

That's not my intention. But I always want to know how my girlfriend feels about me.

It's only natural, isn't it?

Well, I guess so.

This guy’s tongue calls me his girlfriend.

Something ’s definitely wrong with this picture.

We’ve been going out for a little over three months. Maybe it’s the longest yet.

I’m going to find three or four more by Christmas.

The more friends, the better.

Hey! What's the matter?

Taxi.

So he's an “unhatched doctor", huh?

So when's the wedding?

Me, I don't care when it is. Even tomorrow would be fine.

Huh...?! That one's still moving!

It's a lot of work being an ”.”S

You have to improvise the drama.

It's a great learning tool for acting.

I know. We have it easy.

No more bets.

But you have to lie a lot, don't you?

Yeah. Nothing but lies.

So this is your first time here?

Yeah. We came just for the heck of it.

Are you single? Students?

My, such obvious flattery.

You think? But you're out so late.

I'm a call girl.

I'm a dominatrix.

We actually should be working now.

We're not in the mood for it, so stop it with your lines.

Yes. You both have such nice jobs.

— Thanks. — Thanks.

”Sindbad on the beach... ”

We're all dancing for you, so sing better than that. Now go!

”...crulsing here and there, what a philanderer. ”

Go, go!

”Holding a surfboard, flirting from beauty to beauty. ”

— Go, go! — Let's do it!

”He goes around saying, you look fine in a bikini. ”

Cool!

”But he better not get too fresh with me!”

What's this?

Dunno.

It's from the gentlemen over there.

I bet they're going to ask us to go for a ride.

Pass them, will you?

Hey, Rei! Step on it!

After this, let's go to Noboru's place and have some drinks.

Yeah, we won't have to worry about driving.

Where is it?

In Ito.

Huh... Ito?

At this hour, we can get there in no time.

Yeah, no time.

Watching the sea at dawn, sipping a glass of wine... sounds nice.

Right?

I have some Colombian weed, too.

Now that's really tempting.

Okay then, let's go.

I'm not going.

I don't have sex without love.

Same here.

You're leaving?

They're leaving.

Woopsie—daisy.

They're leaving.

Hey...

They're leaving or something.

Right... let's go back to Shibuya.

”Distant blue starlight falls on the beach... ”

”...and tonight, tonight, there are sprays from crashing waves. ”

”Those pretty shining stars are chandeliers of the night sky. ”

”’Til dawn, ’til dawn, let’s dance together ’til dawn. ”

”Yes, I love you baby, yes, I do.”

”I’ll be looking all night long, long, long... long... long. ”

”Distant blue starlight falls on the beach. ”

”Tomorrow, tomorrow... will eventually arrive. ”

”Distant blue starlight falls on the beach... ”

”...and tonight, tonight, there are sprays from crashing waves. ”

”Those pretty shining stars are chandeliers of the night sky. ”

”’Til dawn, ’til dawn, let’s dance together ’til dawn. ”

”Yes, I love you baby, yes, I do.”

”I’ll be looking all night long, long, long... long... long. ”

”Distant blue starlight falls on the beach. ”

”Tomorrow, tomorrow... will eventually arrive. ”

”Tomorrow, tomorrow... will eventually arrive. ”

”Tomorrow, tomorrow... will eventually arrive. ”

I'm so thirsty!

Managers of bars/coffeeshops are called ”Master". Barkeeper, beer!

Two trophy—beers coming up.

Yes.

Let's go to the beach at dawn next time. For real.

Yeah, let's go.

Good night.

Good night.

This is Sakuma. I’m not here.

It's me. When you suddenly left me, I got mad and didn’t want to call you, but...

I’ve calmed down since then, so I decided to give you a call.

Here you go. It's safe here, come and eat.

These rice grains are top quality.

I did it!

I’m really trying to understand... Did I do something to offend you?

Was it something that I said? If so, I’ll apologize.

Please tell me.

Honestly, you're such a moron...

Dear Morn.

The weather’s been so hot lately. Are you doing well?

Have the sunflowers blossomed in the foothills?

I recently got a new part—time job.

Do you know what a ”therapist” is?

It's a person who listens to people ’s problems, whose job it is to free their minds.

I’m an assistant.

It’s a great learning experience for me, and it’s helping my acting.

As you all know...

Sera—chan's going to get married, and is going to retire.

Unfortunately, we can't invite...

her fiance to join us here.

But to celebrate her retirement and wedding, we've arranged this humble little party.

So drink up. And if you need pocket money, Sera—Chan, you can always come and visit.

Let's make a toast, okay? Right!

Sera—Chan, congratulations on your wedding!

Congratulations!

Thank you, everybody.

Ta—da!

Me, too.

— Congratulations, Sera! — Congratulations!

Thank you.

How thoughtful of them.

Thank you.

Be happy.

Thank you.

And this is from me. Congratulations.

Thank you.

Just look at you.

Thank you.

Sera, congratulations. Here's my gift.

Hey, hey, isn't that enough?

Thank you.

Congratulations.

Thank you. Gosh, look at all of this...

Congratulations, Sera.

Thank you, Ayumi.

I'm so glad for you. Be happy.

I will, for sure.

Sera.

I’m getting married to Ken—Chan.

A—E—I—U—E—O—A—O...

”Uirou Uri“ (The Medicine Seller): famous 19th—century tongue—twisting theatrical warmup exercise. Let me tell you about my Boss, whom some of you have already heard of.

"RI: ” Old unit of distance—measurement (equivalent to 2.44 miles). He traveled 20 ri north from Edo, past lsshikimachi in the Odawara district of Soshu province...

to the town of Aomono, where he was known as Toraya Tohenmon of Rankan Bridge...

but ever since he shaved his head, he's been known as Ensai.

This medicine comes from from his native country, and now it's available year—round.

A long time ago, a foreigner from China named Uirou came to visit the Palace.

The Emperor decided to keep Uirou's medicine locked up in the Palace.

He kept it hidden under his crown, and would pick off a bit when he needed a dose.

He named the medicine "Tochinko."

Those characters mean "the aroma that goes through your head.“

These days, the medicine has become very famous, and is known to most as...

Odawara's Tochinko, but there are copies, such as Haidawara's, Sandawara's, and Sumidawara's.

But the medicine of Ensai is the only one that's inscribed with the name “Uirou” in hiragana.

If any of you are planning to go to the hot springs at Atami or Tounosawa...

or if you intend to go to lse Shrine, please make sure to get it at the correct shop.

If you're going towards Kyoto, it's on the right; if towards Edo, it's on the left.

The shop has eight gables, three in front, in the Chinese palace style.

The official insignia of the chrysanthemum and the trunk of the paulownia prove its merit.

“I Embrace Your Situation"

Here's the script for our performance.

This is the legendary sword of honor.

“The sword of honor?”

Indeed. Only heroes are able to wield it.

Yes, you've reached Cat Call.

Six months at a Soapland would cover it. How 'bout it?

This is our enemy, vice president Chikeda...

Thank you...

Hey, wait! Wait!

A little, you say? It's a lot, you bastard!

Lord Kozone, it is time to depart.

She's so adorable, I just want to hold her tight.

She's so adorable, I just want to hold her tight.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Someone from your work?

No, nothing like that.

”OL:” Office Lady, a general secretarial assistant. I'm just an office girl.

Is that right? Yeah, there's a different air about you.

Anyway, why don't you get to work, laborer.

Two potato wines.

Got it.

That good for you?

What'II it be?

Hmm... Meatballs, wings, liver, intestine, cartilage, gizzard...

tongue, heart, head meat, shitake, gingko... two each! You?

Four quail eggs.

Got it! Meatballs, wings, liver, intestine, cartilage...

kebab... um, asparagus... er, gingko... pepper... tomato... and quail egg, one of each, right?

Huh?

Don't mind him.

Kazuo is addicted to playing video games at home.

Nakamura, an ex—colleague, tries to bring him back into the gaming industry.

But Sawako stands in his way...

and Nakamura is in love with her.

So it's a love triangle... Hey, why are you still playing those old games? You're weird.

Programmers aren't supposed to get entranced by their own games.

Miss Sawako, it's your turn.

Excuse me, but Kazuo—San is a genius.

There are aspects of him that can't be measured by a ruler.

Get a load of that! There's someone on this planet who still thinks you're a genius.

Just come back to us. Your job will always be there for you.

I'm no genius.

You're all mistaken.

The fact that he doesn't know he's a genius makes him even more of a genius.

Take some responsibility. It takes a lot of energy to keep on telling you you're a genius. More quail.

Like I said... Oh, got you...

Like I said, just leave me alone.

It's my hobby to care for you.

Don't you have other hobbies?

I have no other hobby but you, Kazuo—San.

Building plastic models? Canoeing?

What? Canoeing? What's canoeing? Is that fun?

How would I know? It just popped out of my mouth, that's all.

We're coming in.

That part, right there, exaggerate a bit and kick your way in, like wham.

Come in making a ruckus.

Yes.

Let's take it from the preceding line.

How would I know? It just popped out of my mouth, that's all.

We're coming in!

You can't come in uninvited.

We invited ourselves!

That's too much!

Mr. Shimamori... enough is enough.

You say "tomorrow," it's always "tomorrow."

If you don't pay your debt, we're the ones who get in trouble.

Horses again?

I lost a little playing horses.

A little you say? It's a lot, you bastard!

Stop! I'll pay up. I'll do everything I can to pay the debt, so please don't be violent.

Kazuo—San is very weak.

He got into a car wreck when he was in Junior High and has a metal plate in his head.

Are you his...

His!

And you say you'll do anything to clear his debt, huh?

"Toruko:” Turkish Bath: A brothel. Six months at a Soapland would cover it.

How 'bout it?

As long as Kazuo—San doesn't get jealous.

What's up with this guy?

Of course, I wouldn't get jealous. Isn't taking care of me your hobby?

If that's so, then go all the way with it, and bail me out.

Kazuo—San.

Get away.

Get thee to the Soapland!

More, more.

Stop!

Cry!

Anger!

Stop. When you come over here, do a somersault.

Yes.

When he gets you, that is, and do it laughing.

Okay, let's do it.

Go!

Pay the rent!

To hell with that!

Good.

What kind of selfish hero are you?

I've been selfish for five years, why should I change now?

What's it for...?

It's for our...

No, no no, the timing's off. At “oretachi no" you need to stomp..

"What are you talking about?“

What are you talking about?

About our... about our... adventure!

Man, that's hokey.

It's so hot.

It sure is.

Hi all.

Good job everyone.

When's the public pool going to open?

It opened yesterday.

Really?

We went already.

Why didn't you tell me?

Swimming sounds good.

Yeah.

I don't have a suit though.

Want to borrow mine? I have two suits. It'll fit.

I wonder.

What are you guys doing? This isn't a public bath, you know.

Rei's bathing suit is weird...

It's her work costume.

I was going to use it today so I brought it with me.

You can't tell what it is unless I wear the boots.

Maybe it'll shrink and get really tight...

Yours looks very snug, too.

No, it's just fat that's hanging out.

By the way, Sakura, I heard you started working at the club.

What?!

All she does is answer the phones.

I've heard of fat fetishes.

Is that true?

Today, at around 5:30 am...

a hotel employee of a love hotel in Shibuya...

110 is the Japanese equivalent of 91 1. discovered the dead body of a woman in a bath tub, and reported the incident to 1 10.

According to investigation, the victim was a member of a date club in Shibuya...

in her early twenties or late teens.

She was found strangled in the bathtub...

That's bad news.

The police are treating it as a murder, and are continuing to investigate.

I wonder if we're closing for today.

It's going to be really busy today.

According to what the employee reported...

From what I hear, most places aren't opening today; it's our chance to clean up.

Of course, she's young and has lovely skin...

Yes, thank you very much.

Nagisa, it's Mr. Suzuki at the Submarine, room 202...

Hello, this is Club Culottes. Yes. Thank you very much.

And her name? Oh, I'm so sorry, she's on menstrual leave 'til tomorrow.

Do you have another preferred girl? One moment please.

Club Poetrene. Yes, Mr. Sato.

You don't know how to get to the hotel? Where will you be coming from?

Ayumi.

I saw the news. ls everything okay?

Fine, fine. This is a chance to make a bundle. I hardly have time to go back to the office.

You're tougher than you look.

Didn't you know?

I knew!

If I run into a creep, I'll beat him up.

Want to borrow my whip?

Could I? Is that okay?

Sure. I've got tons of them.

Looks like another call... yep... look...

Unreal.

This one really packs a wallop; one strike and they're down for three days.

Really? Could I see it?

Wow. This is fun!

You're a natural, Ayumi.

Thanks for this. Maybe I should change my line of work.

Sure, you're such a liar.

You think I am?

You're completely talented at it.

Hey, will you buy a ticket?

Oh!

Come see it with that unhatched doctor of yours.

These were just printed today.

Rei, you're good at sales, too; you waste no time.

It's the candy—and—whip principle.

Does that apply in this case?

Please come in.

Hello, this is Ayumi. I'm getting started.

And can you order me a spaghetti dinner delivery for later?

A spaghetti dinner? Okay. Good luck.

Will you step over me?

Our address is Dogenzaka 301, we'd like a delivery of three orders of spaghetti.

Yes. Right.

Wait. Cancel that! Cancel that! Cancel the spaghetti!

Yeah?

Emergency! Ayumi called in a spaghetti!

What?

Should I call the police?

Idiot!

Excuse me, my name's Nakayama. ls Mr. Jiro there?

I'll shave it clean for you.

What?

This thing's so sharp.

Please, don't.

Please... please what?

Please stop...

Yes?

I'm from the front desk.

What do you want?

Will you please open the door?

Coming! Wait... wait.

Come back here! Hey!

Manager!

What's going on?

I'm from the Tendo—Kai gang.

Say, bro...

I need your cooperation...

to help make this a safe town for all of us.

Yes.

Ayumi, I'm so glad you're okay.

Thanks for recognizing the signal.

Yes, Club Poetrene. Yes.

Umm...

I'll go.

Miss Sakuma?

Yes.

This way, please.

This isn't good.

It might be gonorrhea.

Let's check it internally. Take off your underwear and go there.

You're going to check internally on this?

That's right.

Can I pass on the internal check?

What are you talking about? You're sick.

You've drunk a lot of my pee, haven't you?

P—pee?

Can't you just give me the medicine?

A dominatrix could never let herself be seen in the stirrups.

As luck would have it, the doctor I randomly visited was a client.

"Dream Kiss”

STOP IT!

Stop it! I'm not a braggart!

What's the matter? What's the matter, Kazuo? Kazuo?

Huh...?

Hmm... maybe you've been playing your game too much.

I'll go get you a glass of water.

Oh, yeah... I've got to keep playing.

Curtain opens.

We have been waiting for you, Lord Kazuone.

Why are you barging in uninvited?

What are you saying? Aren't we fellow soldiers of Grizoridonia, who fight together?

Where am I?

This is the world that you yourself have programmed: The Magic Kingdom!

I shall continue my divination.

And who are you?

Oh, look, Kazuone. See the princess reflected in Grizelda the Witch's crystal ball.

Princess...? Sawako!

Are you coming to swim with us today?

Sure, but you guys go on ahead of me.

Rei. It's my turn today.

I'm sorry. I can't for a while.

Huh...?

Are you not feeling well?

Venereal disease.

Yikes!

Spaghefii

Come to think of it, all of you should go get checked at the hospital.

Take care.

Group meeting!

The issue here is that we have to trace Rei's infection, and how far it has spread.

I think, firstly, that it might be from one of us...

or a client, or Rei's lover, or someone of that ilk.

Yes. I don't think that it's one of the clients.

How do you know?

Rei said that she lets her clients ejaculate but she never has sex with them.

Could it be her lover, then?

We lack information.

We'll consider those possibilities, but...

You...?

To be honest, I've never been with any girl other than Rei. So...

You're judged not guilty.

I... lately I feel itchy.

For about two or three days, it's been painful to pee.

I've had something like pus on the tip.

But I've heard that you could get that without having sex.

Well, you can't say that public baths and pools are 100% safe, but...

the pain and itching might be related to other physiological factors.

Shouldn't they be concerned about finding out what kind of venereal disease it is?

Anyone have a medical encyclopedia?

Let's go to the hospital.

It won't be as scary if we all go together.

AIDS would be bad.

“Hojo Medical Clinic"

"Venereal Disease Department"

How did it go?

Was it AIDS? No way, I hope.

— Was it herpes? Syphilis? — Are you guys okay?

I better go buy some condoms.

— Hey. — Gonorrhea?

If all of us got treatment together, it won't be as scary, right?

We're making lots of headway.

I don't think so.

You think so? Maybe here?

Hmmmm

The yellow one.

Yeah, because that's yellow.

Hey, Toru.

Hmm...?

Should we have dinner after this?

I want to finish the yellow part first.

Right now...

I want to finish this fish part.

This piece?

We'll have to find the fin.

The fin...

You need to get better at this.

Toru is a literature major, but he's studying to become a lawyer.

Toru’s hobby ls jigsaw puzzles.

When I did it secretly by myself, I was able to complete it in a day.

But working on it together, it's already taken us three weeks.

Maybe Toru’s not good with aesthetics.

My dream is to become a lawyer’s wife.

It's finished.

It's finished.

I opened a new bank account yesterday.

l transferred ¥10 million into it using my father’s name.

You're the one in charge? How do you do?

Is that any way to speak to me?

What way? What's with your attitude?

I'm a customer.

If you're here to kid around, you better just leave.

I'm not kidding around.

I'm just tired of regular sex with regular women.

I came here hoping that a whole new world might open up for me.

I feel that there's a psychological undercurrent to S&M...

something more than the one—dimensional aspects of physical stimulation.

To put it boldly, it takes on the appearance of sex, and yet...

it's a kind of philosophy, or a kind of religion.

Could you accommodate these ideas?

Those things don't bother me.

If that's what you want, I'll be your Sartre... or even your Jesus.

Now that's the spirit.

Anyway, just take off your clothes.

Aren't you taking yours off, too?

I'll do things my way.

So you begin by putting someone in a restricted situation.

It would be the correct introductory step.

I see.

Hey! This isn't what I ordered! Take these things off! Take the shackles off!

Hey! Hey!

This is what you need.

I'm throwing your clothes away.

What, you're finished already?

Just taking a break.

Huh...?

I got a tough one to break in; it's been a while.

Oh... Is it a Re! Special?

Bastard! Say that again to my face!

Get out of here!

Just who do you think I am?

Where's your sense of decency?

Huh? Say something!

Bastard! Moron CEO!

Who are you calling a bastard?

You're the bastard, aren't you?

Enough is enough!

Enough out of you!

Layoffs! Layoffs! Is that all you can say? Are we a company or a zoo?!

What is this? What's this thing?

Why's it all swollen?

Explain yourself.

Mistress, it's Acme, Acme.

How's that? What are you talking about?!

CEO bastard!

We get these types from time to time.

Bastard CEO.

I'm off.

See ya.

Maybe I can be back by lunch.

Fine.

I'm off.

See you.

Yes, Club Soiree.

Oh yes, thank you.

One moment please.

Rei—Chan, it's Sawanobori. What time are you available?

I can do it right now. The current customer's going to take a while.

I should open a branch office and have you run it.

And then she laughed.

She says she could do it right now. Can you come?

Yes. Yes.

It's all right.

Yes.

My member number is 172, Sawanobori.

You gotta be kidding...

Of course, I know it's you.

I had a feeling it might be okay, so I called from downstairs. Forgive me.

No jokes, please. It ruins the atmosphere. Right, Rei?

I'm sorry.

I know that you know you're going to get punished for this.

Is that right?

Yes.

Please excuse me.

Yes. What?

So the Kurosaki group has flown the coop, huh? Okay, take Maeyama hostage, and fast.

But treat him well for now, no rough stuff. Okay, I'll be back soon.

It's rude of me I know, but today, due to unexpected business...

I must excuse myself.

I shall make amends for this.

I'm very sorry.

Wow... scary!

He'd done nothing for five years. But I think he was fighting an inner battle the whole time.

He'd done nothing for five years.

But I think he was fighting an inner battle the whole time.

By virtue of doing nothing, I believe that he was fighting with something.

I used to be a fighter myself once upon a time...

I'm back.

Welcome back.

How's the situation?

The more he treated me harshly the kinder I became toward him.

The more he treated me harshly the kinder I became toward him.

Scary, isn't it...

Isn't it lonesome?

What can save you now?

Your knowledge...? Your strength...?

That's right.

Now you understand.

I'm the only one who can save you.

And you have no choice but to obey me.

Understand?

I'll take this off now, so you can reply.

I said reply!

Yes!

Now you'll attend to everything I say, won't you?

So you still can't let go of your ego?

I understand! I understand! I'll listen to everything you say!

We must also fix the way that you speak to me.

Help! Forgive me! Forgive me! Mistress!

Mistress!

Very well.

You'll make a good slave.

Dear Mom, tomorrow is the day our play opens.

I’m so nervous that I’m shaking, but...

my body just spontaneously began to dance.

Though I can’t use it in my play, I am truly grateful, Morn...

that you insisted that I study ballet.

Real/y, thank you.

“Dream Kids Theatre Group: Their fifth performance: I Embrace Your Situation"

”Congratulations: To Sakuma Reiko, from your #1 fan“

Boss, I bought up all the tickets.

Good. Now go give them out near the theatre.

I got free tickets! Here you go!

Hey, guy, look at this! Come on, check it out!

Hey missy, I've got a free ticket here!

Hey bro, it's a free ticket! Go ahead!

Hey, sis! Wow, you're pretty! The show's at 6:30! The Dream Kids want you in the audience!

"Dream Kids?" Never heard of 'em.

Hey mister CEO! Go see the play!

I don't want any money! Go see it, okay?!

I got free tickets!

Hey, sharp—lookin' dude, go see the show!

I got free tickets. Hey!

Hey bro, wanna see some sweaty hot babes?! This is your free chance!

Hey, sister, yay, it's for free!

Boss...

Big brother...

This ain't working.

This will not do...

Add on free tickets to the J—Ieague soccer game!

Why is that? It's kind of strange.

That's how you approach me.

And the closer you approach, the smaller you look.

That's against the laws of perspective.

The closer I get to you, the smaller I become?

That being the case, can't you just think of me as cuddly and cute?

You're very cute. I just want to embrace you.

It's okay. Hug me any time you want.

If you can cry for yourself...

If you can cry about how sorry you feel for yourself...

for having been taken advantage of by a man like me...

then I'll embrace you anytime... Anytime.

You make everything so complicated. You're so complicated, that's what I like about you.

You just don't understand.

What?

We're absolutely... hopelessly... endlessly...

in a very complicated situation!

Lord Kazuone, it is time to depart.

I've been waiting for you guys!

Everyone, it's finally the day we battle the Boss character!

Let's do it!

What about Princess Saeko, who is still missing?

The closer she gets, the smaller she becomes. The farther she goes...

the larger she appears.

Let us go afar!

Let us go afar!

Come on, I'll take them on. I've been bored doing nothing for five years.

Pay back your debts!

I don't pay back debts!

Die!

Take that!

What kind of selfish hero are you?

I've been selfish for five years, why should I change now?

What are you talking about?

About our... about our... adventure!

He'd done nothing for five years.

But I think he was fighting an inner battle the whole time.

By virtue of doing nothing, I believe that he was fighting with something.

I used to be a fighter myself, once upon a time.

When he could do nothing for himself, I kept on taking care of him.

Kazuo, what I did become was a burden to you.

I burdened him.

And he has borne my burden.

Then he'd take out his stress on me, and the more he would take it out on me...

the kinder I would become toward him.

— And this mutual kindness... — And this mutual kindness...

had been our adventure together.

Kazuo—San!

Let's begin a new adventure together, Sawako.

A new adventure?

We must become independent, Sawako.

The game is over.

We have to reset and replay.

Where are you going on that tuna boat?

To catch tuna! I found this job in "FROM A” magazine.

How cool!

A computer geek like me will now rub elbows with bronze—skinned fishermen.

I'll mingle with them, I'll get beaten up by them...

and I'll catch tuna!

I'll catch tuna!

Come back to me. I'll be waiting for you!

All aboard!

I... will be waiting for you, Kazuo.

That's okay, isn't it? You can let me exercise that option.

It's my choice.

Don't forget about me. Bear your burden.

If you can't bear my little burden, then you certainly won't be able to carry a 2—meter long tuna!

Become a real man, and come back to me.

Nagai Hideo.

Thank you very much.

Hosokawa Sakura.

Thank you very much.

Kitazawa Kiyoshi.

Miura Yoshikazu.

Thank you very much.

Hashiratani Tetsuya.

Thank you very much.

Sakuma Reiko.

And so our fest/val comes to an end.

Festivals make us joyful.

Now on to the next festival. An even more joyful and greater festival.

l...

Thank you all very much for coming.

We are having a small wrap party here.

Whether or not you were involved in the production, you're most welcome to stay.

Rei... Rei!

Ayumi...! 'scuze me...

That was great. Congratulations.

Thank you.

It was great! I didn't understand it, but it was really great!

You liar.

Gimme a kiss, whoever you are.

We did it!

Hold it right there!

I know I stepped out of line.

I'm aware that I'll be punished for it.

You knew about this?

We have ways of finding things out.

Forgive me.

Thank you.

Was he crying?

Maybe it's because you're such a great kisser.

Okay, everyone Great job!

Great job!

And also...

What?

Cheers to our recovery.

Cheers.

Cheers!

What recovery?

We all had VD.

What?!

How about that, huh?

How's the pre—med doing?

Didn't I tell you? I'm living with a would—be lawyer.

Yet another wannabe...

I'm going to be the wife of a lawyer!

And what does he think you do for a living?

Assistant director on a late—night radio show. It's so convenient.

That's a good one.

If it weren't for this load I'm carrying, I'd hang out with you guys some more.

Let's go out drinking again. Can you go tomorrow?

Sure I'll go. And what was the name of your radio station?

Whoops...

Alright guys, goodnight.

Goodnight.

Take care.

Good night!

See you later.

Shall we go?

Where?

The sea.

I'm in. But how do we get there?

How do we get there...?

Shall we pick up some guys?

I'll bet there are plenty still roaming around.

Let's go!

We're here!

Watch where you're going!

— Do you even have a license? — Of course not!

What?!

We're here.

I can't believe we're still alive.

What are we going to do about the car?

Hey, why don't we play an S&M game?

Huh?!

You're into that?

S&M!

This isn't S&I\/I!

Get us out!

”Yes, I love you baby, yes, l do.”

”I’ll be looking all night long, long, long... long... long...”

”Distant blue starlight falls on the beach. ”

”Tomorrow, tomorrow will eventually arrive. ”

”Distant blue starlight falls on the beach. ”

”And tonight, tonight, there are sprays from crashing waves. ”

”Those pretty shining stars are the chandeliers of the night sky. ”

”’Til dawn, ’til dawn, let's dance together ’til dawn. ”

”Yes, I love you baby, yes, I do.”

”I’ll be looking all night long, long, long... long... long. ”

”Distant blue starlight falls on the beach. ”

”Tomorrow, tomorrow will eventually arrive. ”

”Tomorrow, tomorrow will eventually arrive. ”

I'm home.

Huh?

Who cares!

Preparations for a festival begin tomorrow, again.

Starting tomorrow. And it’s going to be super—fun, again.
